Earl with one of his many Cadillacs
Earl was very proud of his last name. He so very much wanted to have some type of relationship with his father Fred Ramser. The only thing Fred ever gave Earl was his last name. He treasured any little news he would recieve regarding his father and saved the letters, couple pictures, and odd poems. After Grandpa passed away Grandma gave me a small envelope with these items which Grandpa kept in his drawer. In retrospect Fred was the one to lose out not having Earl in his life. Earl enjoyed the family he had and grandma always reminded him of this. In some ways it is a shame that us grandkids could of know or met our great-grandfather who lived well into his late 90s. Looking at Fred's picture there is no way he could deny Earl because they looked just alike.
